This is the key. In general order a size up from American lines (PI, Sheebest, Hincapie, Terry). My husband and I have lots of Assos shorts. We both size up. Every customer at our LBS who has been trying on Assos while we're there sizes up. You have to know what you're comparing to when "sizing up." I'm also a longtime Castelli wearer and I don't size up for their shorts, but I do for their tops. Try on the garment or be prepared to return it. My husband sizes up for Giordana but I don't know for women. The one Giordana jersey I own had to be 2 sizes larger.
